Odin does not recognise i9500 in Download Mode!! - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yesterday,a strange thing happened.I was flashing stock rom to my s4 and the usb suddenly dies and as a result,i cant get into recovery now. After that,i tried some other usbs,also usb ports and nothing seems to work!The only thing i can do is to put it in download mode.i also tried to uninstall and reinstal drivers but still no luck.
I've read somewhere that s4 needs its oem cable to get this work.I do not know if there is something similar posted here but i rly need help cause i need my phone for my job!

Did you try installing kies? I believe Kies includes the drivers. If Kies doesn't work, try Samsung's smart switch.

You have to rule out it's cable related. Try different cables.
Your pc should see something connected to it even if it's a driver problem. It's also possible your usb port is just broke and you need to replace it.

Thank you both for the replies but i found out the solution.i just removed the battery while s4 was connected and being in dowload mode!it worked like a charm

loop boot quickly

Sorry for my English I will try to explain my problem.
After rooting everything was fine, but when I try to flash stock firmware somethings happen.First problem is that my PC cannot detect the phone with Odin and adb or mass storage I am 100% sure that the problem are not the drivers because I root that phone on the same PC before a week and of course I try everything on a another computer, but without success.
Download mode Odin cannot detect the phone! after many attempts to fix usb problem now the phone cannot boot , only in recovery (loop)after every start it's show recovery with message
Filesystems:
system: rfs
data: rfs
cashe: rfs
maybe system, data and cache files are erased I don't know.
recovery version is 0.1.3.b5
How can I flash stock firmware without PC. For example HTC devices can flash from SD card - Gold card, and PB99IMG.zip (I can't explain very well what I mean sorry)
Maybe the phone is usb bricked !
working..
recovery - only recovery
Download mode Volume Down + power off + camera ) - but cannot connect to PC and Odin.
not working
after flashing new costume ROM - the same thing - reboot to recovery
installed software on pc
android SDK,Kiesmini_1.0.0.10075_1,Samsung PC studio 1.5.1.10064_2,Drivers for spica on (Windows 7 x86)
really I cant find post like this !!! and sorry for my English
If you can go to download mode and phone is not detected, then you have bad drivers or bad usb in PC. Try another PC.
I have 3 pc and 2 cables and the same problem cannot detect. Can I flash new stock firmware without odin ?

Have you tried different USB ports, specifically one on the back of the PC?

Calm down. Did you read what I posted above? I said nothing about drivers. Have you tried other USB ports? Most people find the ports on the back of the CPU work the best, not ones on the front, or on a hub. It does make a difference.

usb doesn't work

hey, my sgs+ can't connect to the pc. it allows batterie loading, but connecting via usb doesn't work. i've tried a reset, reinstalling ROM, the usb modes (kies etc.), i've tried another cable and another pc. what shell i do?
what do you want to connect to? for kies i don't know. never used it. otherwise you got to change your usb settings on your phone
btw: this is a development forum... ask somewhere else... the i9000 guys can help you with this too
May be something wrong with your phone usb port, some contacts not work.
First of all, you should tell if you are using a stock rom, other problem uses to be the windows driver, it does a wrong installation or gets corrupted sometimes.
Try reinstalling the driver, or if you are on a non oficial rom, try another one, or an oficial one, but remember to save your efs folder first in that case.

[Q] GS4 i9505 usb-pc issue after upgrade to JB 4.3

Hello everyone,
I registered and post this thread because i give up with problem i get after upgrade my galaxy s4 i9505 to jelly bean 4.3. Pc dont recognizing phone, usb cable is good because when i connecting the charging icon appears. I checked in other pc (in both there is windows 7), I download the last version of usb drivers from official site, i download the last version of Kies3 and it still no connecting. Before upgrade i havent this issue, i also checked other usb cable (both cables are original). I searching for hour any solution, activate developer options and check "usb debugging", also i wrote *#0808# and check mtp (i also tried other options, no result) or I tried launch vol down + power + home, also dont help. So i give up and now i`m hope some hi-tech wizard will tell where i making mistake...
After hours spending on wasting time with this usb connect i started to think about change soft, but here appears another issue... I havent root, and superuser. That is not a finish of trouble! I noticed that i have recovery 3e with some kind of error "e: signature verification failure" when i trying to flash any other soft or custom recovery! I searching for some tips on web, but in all options i allways impended whatever i try: when i try use Rom Manager there is error i havent su, when i try activate SuperSu there is error i havent root, when i try install CWM by MobileOdin there is error i am not su... when i try other aps like Framaroot there is error #5, also in Rom Manager i have info that my Rom doesnt support OTA, when i try change recovery file in System/bin folder by RootExplorer there is again error "u havent root"! I'll go crazy by this trap!

Hi there mate , Try plugging it in to another usb port that comes off a motherboard. Don't use the front ports or usb hub. or either download kies 3 from here http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/SW/201312/20131204181418883/Kies3Setup.exeto see if its gonna work or not.have a nice day.

I see the problems are in Windows 7. The USB Conector seems ok. Untick "usb debugging" in ur phone and take a look this page. If dont appears nothing in the device manager, tell me it and i will give ya other solution
EDIT: Other option is:
- Uninstall completely Kies and Kies 3
- Reboot ur pc
- Download the latest version of Kies 3 (drivers are included, only tc what u select in the installation -> dont untick them)
- Conect ur phone to the pc with the USB conector and wait coz the drivers have to be installed. Till Windows dont finish of install them u dont need touch nothing. Good luck
I'm suprised that three peoples trying to help me, thats charming, thank you.
But...
Repulsa I've done what u wrote, I tried plugging s4 to another usb port, one port usb 2.0 and another usb 3.0, always was the same situation, the charging start coming but nothing more, there is no notification on phone screeon or on the pc. Also I tried do this in second pc, in 3 usb ports, but always was the same. After that I tried that what Repulsa and jaswinsky says, i re-install kies. First I uninstall in both pc kies, and i install the kies 3, I reboot my pc and I reboot my s4. Nothing new happens, only charging. Here i want to turn your attention that, I checked in both pc's my younger brothers Galaxy s2, and it havent any problems with connecting! If I plugging Galaxy s2 in this usb ports in both pc, windows 7 havent any problem to recognize phone! Kies and "My Computer" shows the device memory and its working. When I after that disconect s2 and plug in my s4 the same situation happens. Only charging icon, and nothing appears about connection.
After that i tried that what Joku1981 wrote, I untisck "usb debugging" in developer options and i checked the device manager, but there doesnt appears anything. There is not "other device" warning or anything like that. Charging icon appears but pc dont recognizing s4. I would also like to point out that, yesterday I've done with younger brother the format on one of this pc's with hope that will helps but, we format pc, reinstall windows7, reinstall all drivers, and the situation is still the same.
Please help me!
PS. I'm starting think about that the official OTA update do 4.4 will solve the issue..

If the phone won't turn on at all you might be boned.
Odin and all that obviously require you to be able to boot to download mode.
Are you positive the battery is good? Could you find another battery to try?
Does the charging light come on when its plugged in? Are there any signs of life at all?

I think it does turn on because the phone does continue to heat up but its just a black screen also i can put it into download mode and it stays there without being plugged into charge. I'm not sure about the battery ill have to check that out. ill get back to you.
It sounds like you dont have recovery or a rom installed at all.
To fix that you need odin. If the PC wont recognize the phone that is a problem. Did you try a different USB cord to connect to the PC? They are not all created equal.

yes i have used both the original one that came with the phone and the s5 one that my brother has, i have had no luck.
my phone shows up as "msm8960" or mtp usb device also it it device driver software was not successfully installed.
[UPDATE] i have found something similar to odin called JOdin3 that connects to my phone, through this i will try to flash a stock firmware, downloaded from sammobile, and see what happens.
Odin doesn't work without the drivers, and since you had an issue with the drivers that would explain why Odin doesn't work yet JOdin3 does.

I installed the samsung drivers several times and it still wouldn't connect to the pc, i also installed kies and it still wouldn't work, but it was working before i bricked my phone. i have fixed my phone through JOdin3.But thank you everyone for your help.
Will it connect now through Odin or Kies?

No it still wont connect to either but the computer does recognize the phone.
MTP is built into Windows, so the fact the PC detects the phone is a good sign. The entire problem you're having seems to hinge on your PC rejecting the Samsung drivers, which are absolutely required for Odin to function. Those drivers should have no problems installing, and I have successfully installed them on both Windows 7 (x64) and Windows 8.1 machines so I know the installer does work.
There could be many reasons as to the source of your problem, such as a corrupt file or registry entry from when the phone soft-bricked. You want to take a closer look and do some detective work here. Uninstall the drivers if you haven't already done so. Clean out the PC with CCleaner. Even attempt a reinstall of the drivers in the PC's safe mode. Regardless of what you choose to do, if you ever wish to use Odin, you'll need to get this resolved.

yeah ill definitely try to fix the problem because odin is such a great tool. i have uninstalled and installed the samsung drivers but i'll go search the net and what not to try and find a fix. odin was working before when i flashed the stock rom and changed something to mtp and adb (i think i put in an ussd code or something (*#0808#) and through that i was able to use odin) but because the wifi wasn't working on the stock rom, i flashed a custom rom to fix the wifi problem but was once again greeted with the odin problem.

Please help, s4 sgh i337m brick!!!

Hi there !!!,windows doesn't recognize my s4 i337m in download mode (code 29), when i was flashing (stock canada 5.0.2) my cousin unplugged the cable by mistake, now i can go into download mode but widows 7 doesnt recognize anymore (tried different pcs and cables , the same), did it damage the usb port? or is hardbricked?? what can i do??? please help!!
I'm no expert on this, but you can try taking out battery. Hold power button to discharge hardware and put battery back in and see if it works. You can also try factory reset & wipe cache from recovery (Vol Up + Home + Power) and try again.
Your phone at least goes to Download mode so that's good sign I guess. You're using ODIN to flash 5.0.2, right?
Wait more experienced person to answer, though.

Thanks bro, but i did what u said and it's still not working, the problem here is that windows does not recognize my s4 (usb port: unknown device, code 29) , yes i'm using odin to flash, but i can't flash until my device be recognized, that's why i need to know if my device's usb port is damaged?

It looks like the PC does recognize something is connected; it just doesn't know what the device is. This makes me think USB port is fine otherwise PC wouldn't recognize anything AT ALL. Does the phone still charge?
You can try the 3 methods here. I know it says for Code 28, but it will reinstall drivers for usb ports. Restart and see if phone is detected.
If it's still not detected, remove Samsung drivers, Kies, or anything related to Samsung phone. Restart and install Samsung USB drivers again. Restart again and see if phone is detected.
bro i'm afraid it did not work, perhaps replacing usb port on my device? or the whole flex?
aditional data: my nephew unplugged the usb cable by mistake while i was flashing canada stock 5.0.2 , obviously odin "failed" , but after that , windows 7 does not recognize my device anymore. i can still go into download mode.

Well, I'm stumped too now, man. You can try the driver thing I said on another computer. I don't know any other things you can try.
If you can charge your phone, your usb port probably works fine. The firmware got corrupted, causing this problem most likely.
solved!!
